LMA Manager 2005 (PS2)
Manufacturer: Codemasters (Limited availability)
Goods not the word!!!LMA Manager has got to be the best game on console, the graphics are much better than the earlier releases, its easy to use, you can be 7 diffent countries, there are over 12,000 players to buy when the tranfer window opens. Trust me if your short on games or have completed them all, your into footie and your looking for a game THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY!!! (Well done Codemasters keep it up!!!)
LMA Manager: Another one…
Layout, menu and user interface is near identical to the previous edition of lma, admitidly - the last one had little interface that needed improvment. However as of yet i haven’t noticed much more improvements around the game.
To actually do well is pretty difficult..no stried in the park. The Game engine looks better and there are more detailed options when looking to buy players and improve your sqaud.
It hasnt got as a detailed database nor options as of the competing championship manager, however, it is alot easier to pick up and play. It has many features were you can train your own players there own schedule, sort out advertisements and stadiums, basically all you need for a management game.
I was just hoping for a larger change which unfortunatley we havent received, i think they haev concentrated on imrpoving there player databases and difficulty of the game, rather than the looks - which is better i suppose.
Therefore onn the surface i would say LMA hasn’t improved when you first compare it, although once you get playing you realise things like how its changed in detail, and difficulty. If you are someone who loves the games i think its worth buying as you have all the new names, and a nice few updates.
MANAGEMENT REALITY!!!
LMA Manager 2005 is an excellent game, by far the best management simulation game that is currently available. It isn’t exhaustive to the point the game becomes a chore to play like other games do in respect of the menus you have to navigate through. And yet this doesnt detract from the game being exceptionally comprehensive. Adding to that is the fact it is easy to grasp with a realistic and very addictive game play. Indeed the nearest rival game just doesnt come close, especially as LMA Manager 2005, i believe, comes close to giving you an accurate idea of what it really does take to manage an actual football team.
Patience, faith and innovation!
The only downside is that during the game play, players take a tumble too regularly and easily, often when they are in crucial positions, which never happens to the opposition.
However be prepared to be pleasantly suprised!!!
This game is certainly a rewarding experience and a must buy.
For those who are sceptical of such types of game, LMA Manager 2005 is the one to try.
